Evan's description of the room was pretty spot-on. It's not a luxurious place and the building could definately do with a lick of paint but it is comfortable and Evan is very helpful with anything you need. The location is convenient for exploring the sathorn district and the connection with the MTR is very useful, Chatuchak market is on the same line for example. Check out Lumpini park for breakfast, if you go early enough you'll see all the Thais getting their breakfast. There is a stall that does fresh fruit/vegatable juices to order - so healthy. Then you can get some eggs, fish, dumplings, whatever you want and cheap as chips. It's also not far from the Klong Toei ferry port where you can visit Bang Kachao park. A good base if you've already explored the old town and want another perspective. Note though that Lumphini Muay Thai stadium has moved and is no longer by Lumphini park.
